Speaker Sam Zeigler will help us ask: What does it mean to set down the things we carry, make them lighter, and lift up to carry on? Through a time of rest and reflection, we will explore where we find freedom and rejuvenation in our lives as they are, and what healing things we might pick up anew. Sam is a recent graduate of Union Presbyterian Seminary and a theologian specializing in trauma, atonement, and resiliency. She is a Candidate for ordination in the Presbyterian Church (USA) and a frequent Richmond-based supply preacher. For her, art and photography are places of rest and restoration. Sam was the student intern at Ashland Presbyterian Church in 2020-2021, the year we spent worshipping online! In addition we will rest our bodies with yoga led by Jennifer Smith, and be introduced to one of Sandi Goehring's "old friends" from the Christian Mystical tradition. This retreat will be held at Richmond Hill Retreat center.
